I learned the best life lessons

from Star Trek DS9.

there are legitimate little bits of wisdom scattered throughout the whole of the series.

 

Resistance is futile?.....Iknow..wrong series

 

Come on spill the beans Dave!

I remember one part of Star Trek,when Q sends Picard back to a parallel life.
This is after Picard wished he'd never got stabbed thro the heart as a youth.

Its basically where Picard is the ship's bum/loser instead of Captain.

So Q is basically telling him that your weaknesses are inextricably linked to your strengths.And also that Picard became a success only by taking risks and "seizing the moment".

You'd need to see the episode tho...

 

thats a great one...season 6 think..."tapestry"...

 

Then perhaps we should be weary of the new star trek movie

Because if we learned anything on DS9, we know what happens when you put a young, inexperienced (not ready for primetime) crew aboard a new starship, as in the case of season 6, episode 22 (The U.S.S. Valiant) when Jake and Nog are attacked by the Jem’ Hadar only to be rescued by a Defiant Class Warship commanded by starfleet cadets

I liked Bashir. It was so hard for me to keep track of what was going on because I didn't watch it regularly and kept missing episodes. Now New Generations on so oh well.

I still love the Statistical Probabilites episode.

 

Throughout the series Dr. Bashir remained a self-centered egotistical ass;
and he even played a spy for section 31 (a special unit within Starfleet
intelligence)

I know he did (section 31) and I still like him. I thought he came off as an alright guy. And yes, I know what section 31 is.

 

SLOAN!!!!

 

At least he was taken down a few notches when it was revealed that
he was genetically enhanced

Someone has to look out for the wellbeing of starfleet and do
the things best left in secret

That explains it - I watched from after that point.
